Week 6 at Minnesota

After a match  up with the Cowboys sandwiched between the Chicago and Minnesota games, the Packers could be reeling from a physical battle at Jerry World.

Also, Mike Zimmer’s defenses always seem to give McCarthy and Rodgers some trouble, so at least on paper this looks like it could be a bit of a trap game for Green Bay.

I expect the Packers’ talent to eventually win out, even if the game ends up being closer than some think.

Prediction: Packers 24, Vikings 20
